What happened in update 2.1.2?

In update 2.1.2 Trailmakers switched to a newer version of Unity and the PhysX engine. This has caused physics to behave differently than before and also fixed some glitches as a side-effect (most importantly the hinge glitch/splitter engine and the trike glitch)

Campaign speedruns

The glitched categories for campaign speedruns have been split into pre 2.1.2 and 2.1.2+.

Race leaderboards

A new category has been added to all race leaderboards: Archived.

For now any runs using the hinge glitch have been moved there (hinge glitch designs in the newer versions seem to have similar performance, so this change has been reverted as of 29-03-2026), but if any future updates make times in a category unbeatable those will also be moved there.

A version annotation has also been added to make future moderation easier.
